In this April 2023 episode of the You're Dead to Me podcast, host Greg Jenner delves into the complicated rise of the Tudor dynasty, from their origins as minor Welsh landowners to one of history's most famous ruling families.

From the pages of historical novels to the big screen, the Tudors are a constant source of fascination.

The reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I remain one of the most iconic images of the British monarchy.

The origins of the powerful Tudor dynasty are convoluted and their beginnings more humble than we might imagine.

On Radio 4's Your Dead to Me podcast, host Greg Jenner brings together historians and comedians to explore the past in a fun, accessible way.

In this episode from April 2023, Jenner and his guests – historian Dr. Adam Chapman and comedian Kiri Pritchard-McLean – trace the Tudors back to a family of minor landowners from Anglesey in North Wales to explore the rise of the Tudor family.
